Evil Venerable of the Sword Dao Chapter 1710 - 197: Spiritual Lotus Secret Realm

"Is this the Secret Realm? A realm with Soul Poison, it’s quite impressive."

Jiang Tianling muttered to himself, then used his Soul Power to sense within the Secret Realm.

Inside the Secret Realm, there was an incredibly beautiful environment, akin to an Immortal Realm.

Within it, there was a vast expanse of Green Lotus Lake, with the water covered by massive Lotus Leaves that blocked out the sky, and huge Lotus Pods as large as mountains.

"This—"

Upon sensing this scene, even Jiang Tianling was somewhat shocked.

He was not only shocked by the gigantic Lotus and Lotus Leaves but also by the ancient Emperor Bloodline inheritance and the extremely powerful Immortal Energy contained within this Secret Realm.

Breathing in this place, even an ordinary Cultivator could directly become a Sword Saint Level powerhouse.

This was the ultimate pure Immortal Energy!

Such powerful and terrifying energy was opened for Mu Qingyan?

Although Jiang Tianling cared about Mu Qingyan, he would never be willing to pay such a price, but this was the Sovereign’s order, and Jiang Tianling dared not hesitate.

"This is indeed a bargain for that woman, but it’s ultimately bait..."

Jiang Tianling sighed, but then he thought about how he would soon be able to overthrow the Extraordinary Woman Mu Qingyan and became excited again.

...

A trace of arrogant smile appeared on Jiang Tianling’s lips, this smile appearing somewhat eerie.

At this moment, Mu Qingyan happened to see this smile, and her heart was slightly alarmed, inexplicably shivering.

At that moment, Mu Qingyan clearly felt a hint of evil emanate from Jiang Tianling.

Although it was just a swift instant, Mu Qingyan knew she could not be mistaken.

But she was a person of keen spirit and clarity, so she naturally would not easily show any sign of it being odd.

At this time, Jiang Tianling snapped back to reality, somewhat worried that he might have suddenly lost focus and revealed something, so he immediately masked it by saying, "Qingyan, if you enter this Spiritual Lotus Secret Realm and cultivate its energy, then gather the Time-Space Soul-locking Tower, even if that Lei Yan King is powerful, he can never be your match!"

"That Lei Yan King is extremely damnable, destroyed over thirty Breeding Grounds of my Jiang family, and nearly obliterated the transforming Sword Burial Ancestor Star!"

Jiang Tianling said, also revealing a trace of anger and arrogance.

He couldn’t be sure if Mu Qingyan saw the trace of arrogance he had inadvertently shown earlier.

So he demonstrated this again to mislead Mu Qingyan into believing he was thinking about how to slay Lei Yan King.

Jiang Tianling was naturally not worried that Mu Qingyan truly sensed it, for he was just eradicating a slight potential hidden threat.

However, he didn’t know that Mu Qingyan was called the Extraordinary Woman of Ten Thousand Realms, not just for her talent but for her wisdom.

Given Jiang Tianling’s behavior, Mu Qingyan already harbored caution in her heart.

And now, Jiang Tianling’s deliberate actions only made Mu Qingyan more aware that Jiang Tianling had ulterior motives.

Nevertheless, although cautious, Mu Qingyan never thought Jiang Tianling would do anything to murder her, given the sincerity of Jiang Tianling’s affection.

And always, Jiang Tianling greatly helped Mu Qingyan, so although Mu Qingyan had some understanding of Jiang Tianling’s pretenses, she wasn’t deeply concerned.

Therefore, after Jiang Tianling spoke, Mu Qingyan confidently nodded, saying, "If so, Lei Yan King is indeed no match."

"Hmm, this is the Spiritual Lotus Secret Realm, a very unique Immortal Secret Realm. You can enter it to attain Enlightenment, and I will guard you."

Jiang Tianling said, handing a jade-green Soul Stone to Mu Qingyan.

Mu Qingyan intended to refuse, but seeing Jiang Tianling’s clear and sincere gaze, she hesitated momentarily and then accepted the jade-green Soul Stone.

Immediately, Mu Qingyan prepared to sense the Secret Realm within the Soul Stone, but her heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Instinctively, Mu Qingyan withheld thirty percent of her soul, merging only seventy percent of her soul into the jade-green Soul Stone.

In this process, Mu Qingyan naturally held back, but what appeared was a situation Jiang Tianling couldn’t see through.

The greatest ability of the Netherworld is that the soul can separate into black Soul Energy, allowing the soul to split at will.

Mu Qingyan showed her full foundation, directing her whole soul to enter the jade-green Soul Stone.

Thus, Jiang Tianling did not question it.

Soon, Mu Qingyan entered the Spiritual Lotus Secret Realm.

Immediately, Mu Qingyan discovered the ultimate power and uniqueness of the Spiritual Lotus Secret Realm.

Not only is it powerful and unique, but it also feels incredibly familiar, as if this place holds a soul-stirring attraction for her.

Mu Qingyan didn’t hesitate. She didn’t feel any danger, so she relaxed a little, thinking to herself that perhaps she was being too sensitive. Jiang Tianling treated her so well, yet she was defensive toward him.

At this moment, Mu Qingyan intended to let another part of her soul enter this secret realm.

But just then, endless green lotus leaves suddenly released green energy, which instantly swept across heaven and earth, fiercely rushing towards Mu Qingyan.

Mu Qingyan’s body trembled, and in the situation of massive Immortal Energy entering her, the green Soul Poison uncontrollably invaded her soul body, and then, Mu Qingyan suddenly felt a bit confused about True Void, somewhat falling into a state of chaos.

Thus, in a daze, Mu Qingyan refined the energy between heaven and earth, quickly reaching close to the Immortal Realm.

She instinctively left the Spiritual Lotus Secret Realm shortly afterward.

The Spiritual Lotus Secret Realm had withered considerably and showed signs of cracking. Hence, it suddenly transformed into a soul stone mark, landing in Mu Qingyan’s palm.

Mu Qingyan awoke, then she immediately separated the soul tainted with Soul Poison from her three-part soul, maintaining clarity in her heart while continuing to appear bewildered on the surface.

"Hahaha, Qingyan, you succeeded, that’s wonderful!"

Seeing Mu Qingyan in such a muddled state, Jiang Tianling was naturally overjoyed, extraordinarily happy at once.

Mu Qingyan looked blankly at Jiang Tianling, seeming to lack even the energy to think.

"Don’t look at me like that, hehe, after pursuing you for so long, not even allowing me close—aren’t you aloof? Wait, let me show you how high and mighty you can be beneath me!"

Jiang Tianling snickered, then directly made a move toward Mu Qingyan.

He slammed a palm towards the center of Mu Qingyan’s brows.

Mu Qingyan stunned, watching this scene. Her three-part soul could have resisted, but to understand the situation, she did not defend herself, allowing the blow to fall.

"Buzz——"

The soul trembled, the Soul Poison dispersed, Mu Qingyan let out a sound of pain.

The agony from her soul being devoured and torn by the Soul Poison made her delicate body shiver.

"Go, unlock the Time-Space Soul-locking Tower, and then we’ll enter and have a good time."

Jiang Tianling said, immediately controlling Mu Qingyan to open the Time-Space Soul-locking Tower.

Mu Qingyan’s bewildered eyes instantly showed a hint of struggle, but it vanished momentarily.

Afterward, she promptly opened the Time-Space Soul-locking Tower.

Mu Qingyan bewildered, stepped into the void where the Time-Space Soul-locking Tower was.

At that moment, deep in her eyes, an extremely cold murderous intent flickered.

However, Jiang Tianling did not notice this; he was already full of anticipation for the wonderful things to come.

The Void Gate opened, and then Mu Qingyan appeared in a chaotic place.

That place flashed layers of white light, forming a world like a bright mirror, very bright and very dazzling.

The chaotic world of light allowed views to extremely distant places.

Mu Qingyan looked at once, seeing Lei Yan King, silently sitting afar, immersed in deep cultivation.

However, Lei Yan King was obviously absorbed in his cultivation, calm with no thoughts, naturally unaware of the situation here.

Mu Qingyan’s mood instantly became incredibly complex. In such a state, Lei Yan King naturally couldn’t exhibit corresponding methods, yet at this moment, Mu Qingyan’s heart remained immensely pained and deeply infatuated.

At that moment, Mu Qingyan suddenly knew that she... perhaps really had an indelible deep connection with Lei Yan King.

Otherwise, why even facing Jiang Tianling, does she still think of Lei Yan King?

Lei Yan King, those previous words, clearly, were not mind-seizing nor True Void Heavenly Prohibition techniques but genuine!

Mu Qingyan was contemplating deep in her heart, yet the eruption of Soul Poison caused her real agony, making deep soul clarity difficult to bear.

Mu Qingyan’s delicate body shivered, the eruption of Soul Poison ignited a certain deep-seated desire within her; under such circumstances, Mu Qingyan seemed to think of scenes of romantic encounters, only, the image faintly included the figure of Lei Yan King.

Moreover, not only did the scenes fit perfectly and feel exceptionally comfortable and enjoyable, extremely happiness arose within Mu Qingyan, without the slightest repulsion, instead her spirit felt incredibly tranquil and serene.

Mu Qingyan’s heart settled for a moment. Within this brief time, Jiang Tianling appeared.

Thus, Mu Qingyan could only once again manifest the state of Soul Poison while being wary of Jiang Tianling.

At this time, the Soul Poison erupted again upon Jiang Tianling’s appearance, as if everything followed a certain pattern.

And Jiang Tianling, upon appearing, was very satisfied with the surrounding energy, also very pleased with this unique space.
